As a person who was a full-time employee at Maemo during that time, I can testify to that. *If* there was any technical reasons (there weren't really), it was C vs. C++. The most important fact to keep in mind here is that decision to go for Qt was not made by Maemo side of Nokia. Keeping that in mind, I don't see any exaggeration in Emmanuele's statement above. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) ________________________________________ Befriend GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/friends/ _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
